Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, I made dinner last night; it's been a while since I cooked anything major around here. And I felt very proud of myself for the recipe I came up with.
I was going to post it in the "IRL Issues" thread, but this isn't an issue. Just food. :3 So, I decided to start a thread dedicated to food.
Post your recipes or food experiences in here. :]

Lemon'n'Garlic Slow-Roasted Chicken

Ingredients:
-5lb whole chicken
-1 lemon
-3 garlic cloves
-seasoning of your choice (I use Adobo, Goya brand)
-zest grater or cheese grater
-toothpicks
-oven pot? (agh, I'm not sure what they're really called; here's a pic: my oven pot)

Instructions:
1. Zest the lemon in a bowl then shred the garlic, in the same bowl. Mix it with your fingers.
2. Season the whole chicken, even under the skin. Careful not to rip the skin, but if you do, use the toothpicks to close it up later.
3. Place some of the mixture under the skin and the rest use it to rub the whole chicken. Close the skin with the toothpicks if you need to.
4. Cut the lemon in half and sprinkle the juice over the chicken. Then, put the lemons inside of the chicken.
5. Transfer the chicken to the pot and cover it.
6. Leave it in the fridge overnight or for a couple of hours.
7. Preheat the oven at 325 degrees and slow cook it for 3 and a half hours, checking it periodically.
8. At the last 15-20 minutes, uncover it to "crispen" the skin.
9. Once the skin is red, the chicken is ready.
10. Enjoy your chicken!
